Another prayer for the aging

“Even when I am old & gray, O God, do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.” Ps 71:18 (see also Ps 71:9).

Our culture despises aging, & idolizes youth. The Bible does neither. Age is an opportunity to redeem, to take advantage of, to leverage – particularly in regard to those younger, who we are called to teach and pour into as long as we have breath, for the glory of God.
